Since the early studies of Mannich, Mannich reaction has become an important tool for the synthesis of new compounds. Mannich bases can be either directly employed or used as intermediates. In this work, the one-carbon unit transfer reaction of tetrahydrofolate coenzyme was initiated. 1,3-Dimethylimidazolidine as a new tetrahydrofolate coenzyme model at formaldehyde oxidation level was used to react with ketone having active hydrogen atoms and amine to give the corresponding Mannich base in good yield by a covert Mannich reaction. A novel method for biomimetic synthesis of various Mannich bases is provided. 1,3-Dimethylimidazolidine as a new tetrahydrofolate coenzyme model at formaldehyde oxidation level was used to react with ketone having active hydrogen atoms and amine to give the corresponding Mannich base in good yield by a covert Mannich reaction.

The development of an efficient and sustainable synthetic route for formaldehyde production from renewable feedstock, especially in combination with a subsequent transformation to straightforwardly construct valuable chemicals, is highly desirable. Herein, we report a novel manganese-catalyzed dehydrogenative cyclization of methanol as a formaldehyde surrogate with a variety of dinucleophiles for facile synthesis of N-heterocycles. The in situ generated formaldehyde via catalytic methanol dehydrogenation can be selectively trapped by diverse dinucleophiles to avoid several possible side reactions. The utility of this transformation is further highlighted by its successful application to the synthesis of 13C-labeled N-heterocycles using 13CH3OH as a readily accessible 13C-isotope reagent.

The C-H activation of cyclic formaldehyde aminals LCH2 (L = RNCH2CH2CH2-NR and RNCH2CH2-NR, R = Me, Et, iPr, tBu, or Ph) with S8 proceeds at unusually low temperatures (T 2S. The reaction constitutes a new, solvent-free method for the synthesis of thioureas that eliminates the toxic and highly flammable CS2. For R = tBu, the ionic carbenium thiocyanates [LCH]+ SCN- dominate the product spectrum and the respective thioureas are obtained in low yield. The reactivity of the analogous sulfur and oxygen ring systems towards S8 was investigated. 1,3-Dithiolane is cleanly converted into 1,3-dithiolane-2-thione (S8, 14 d, 190°C) and resembles the cyclic formaldehyde aminals in this respect. 1,3-Dioxolane (L = OCH2CH2O) is completely inert towards sulfur even under forceful reaction conditions (190°C, 14 d). The formation of thioureas from aminals was investigated at the CBS-4 and B3LYP/6-31G(d) levels of theory.
